CHICAGO — Authorities said the man critically injured when a bullet pierced a window in his home Wednesday died the next day.

Leroy Stinson, of the 2100 block of West Garfield Boulevard, was in his second-floor Back of the Yards apartment when someone fired shots outside about 10:50 p.m., police said.

A bullet came through the window, striking Stinson, 50, in the head.

He was taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition, police said. He was declared dead at 11:01 p.m. on Thanksgiving.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, which released results of Stinson's autopsy Sunday, said he died of a gunshot wound to the head.
